I do research on gels because my goal is to expand their capabilities. The softness and slow motion of gels make them good model materials for understanding physical phenomena in the world. I would like to gain a deeper understanding of friction, lubrication, and osmotic pressure, leading to highly functional gels. One of my latest pleasures is exploring with children.
I aim to share the excitement and marvel of gels with the world. My research focuses on developing highly functional gels that mimic the properties of living organisms and allow for precise control of the physical properties of gels.
